Automations in Home Assistant are the best thing after the cocoa discovery, I use them a lot for many different things and I'm always wondering how to solve the _first world problem_ of the day. The hassle with it is that apart from a list and the search there are not much more options to filter, and when your automations grow it became a bit of a pain finding what you want.

So the other day I decided to follow a "path" approarch to my automations. I'm using a subject, an action or element and then a description to name them:
|
|
|
|
> `(subject) / (action/element) / (short description)`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This way _Turn on the air purifier at night_ became `air purifier / auto / turn on at night` and I can filter by `air purifier /` to get all the automations related to the air purifier, the specific automatic behaviour by `/ auto` (for this and other subjects), etc:
|
|

|
|

|
|
This is so much convenient than before though I'm sure I will keep iterating on this, at least now my list is ordered and I can easily find anything I want to toggle or edit.
|

I wonder how other Home Assistant users handle their automations, if you by any reason read this and have a better way, [please let me know!](/about/).
